A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a clear calligraphic logic throughout. Serifs are bracketed and tapered rather than blunt, and terminals frequently finish in sharp, angled points or small teardrop-like forms. The italic angle is moderate-to-strong, with lively entry and exit strokes that create a fluent, forward rhythm in text. Proportions feel classically balanced: capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms are compact with smooth joins and a consistent slant; figures follow the same italicized, high-contrast construction for an even typographic color across mixed text.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined headings. It can also serve as an elegant display italic for book covers, cultural programs, formal invitations, and premium branding where a classical serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, with a distinctly classical, cultured feel. Its sharp contrasts and elegant slant convey sophistication and formality, while the flowing italics add a sense of motion suited to expressive emphasis rather than blunt utility.
Likely designed as a conventional, classical italic companion intended to bring elegance and emphasis to text while maintaining a disciplined, readable rhythm. The sharp, high-contrast detailing suggests an aim toward refined editorial and literary settings rather than rugged or utilitarian contexts.
In the sample text, the texture remains clean at larger sizes, with the hairlines and sharp terminals contributing to a bright, refined sparkle on the line. The ampersand and several lowercase letters show pronounced calligraphic strokes, reinforcing an editorial, literature-oriented voice.
